That's exactly why I'm discussing it. I've been searching for ways to
indicate to the app that it should reauthenticate with new credentials.
In a previous discussion, we already ruled out destroying the session.

One option would be to amend Registry->setAuthCredential in a way that
apps may or may not do additional stuff.

I think adding an Api call would go beyond "bug fixing" and needs to be
done in develop, right?
